Note du spécialiste

The present model was first exhibited by the Susse Frères foundry at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900. Edited by Susse in three reductions, the present lot being an example of the largest, the model subsequently appeared in the firm's printed catalogues until 1905. Another cast of this size sold Christie's, London, 15 March 2012, lot 28 (£58,850).
